Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) training teaches you how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, configure network components, such as switches, routers, and wireless local area network (LAN) controllers (WLNs), manage network devices, and identify basic security threats. This training also covers the introduction of AI and machine learning (ML) in network operations.

This training prepares you for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (200-301 CCNA) v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the CCNA certification. This training also earns you 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
